Tales From The Burg Lyrics
Ill never forget waking up in Baltimore.
My palms full of sweat.
Clearly you've had your revenge.
For the night I spit right in your face.
You will never forget and I will never forget.
Every waking moment I spend wishing you were dead.
Just fucking die.
It must of been his brand new hand pentagram
Or the fact that he fucks Iron city girls , no condom on the rag.
Just so you know the next time your sucking his dick. Your tasting the blood of a pirates fan.
Tell me how much lower can you go in life. You fucking bitch.
Im not over it , im never over it.
What a perfect romance. A plague on both your houses.

Focus Features has nabbed the film rights to Peter Hedges' new tome "The Heights" for the multi-hyphenate to adapt, direct and produce.
Novel is Hedges' first book in more than a decade; he's been busy directing and writing for the bigscreen ("Pieces of April," "Dan in Real Life").
Published last month by Dutton, Hedges' latest book is about a seemingly perfect husband and wife raising their children in an affluent neighborhood of Brooklyn known as the Heights. But their lives are turned upside down when a wealthy couple moves in next door.
Hedges' debut novel was "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," which he also adapted for the 1993 film version. Other screenwriting credits include "A Map of the World."
"The Heights" reteams Hedges and Focus prexy of production John Lyons, who announced the deal. Before he joined Focus, Lyons produced "Pieces of April."
"I'm thrilled to be working with Peter again. He is a filmmaker of great warmth and humor, and with 'The Heights' we will be taking full advantage of his considerable skills," Lyons said.
Focus has Noah Baumbach's Ben Stiller topliner "Greenberg" in theaters. Upcoming releases include Thomas Balmes' "Babies," Anton Corbijn's "The American," starring George Clooney, and Kevin Macdonald's Roman epic "The Eagle of the Ninth."

QUINCY, Mass. — Quincy has long been a Mecca for enterprising minds. John Adams and John Quincy Adams were born here. So too were three major businesses: Howard Johnson's, Grossman's and Dunkin Donuts.
WGBH News: Where We Live
READ about Quincy from Wicked Local
"It's had a tradition of being people who see an opportunity that other people don't see and have taken it whether it's the political vision of the Adams, or the business vision that the Grossman's or Howard Johnson's had," said Ed Fitzgerald, Executive Director of the Quincy Historical Society.
Fitzgerald says that Quincy, just eight miles south of Boston and boasting 27 miles of waterfront, was perfectly positioned to become a thriving metropolis.
"If you go back to the 1920s, Quincy Center is known as the busiest intersection in the entire Commonwealth because it's an interchange of roads. All roads lead here," Fizgerald said.
And many of the things that attracted people in the 1920s are still draws today.
Take Rob Ross, a Quincy resident.
"I like the water – Boston Harbor, Quincy Bay are all integral parts of Quincy so it keeps me here," Ross said.

Paula Mucci says she loves living here, too.
"The spirit of Quincy has kept me in Quincy . I love Wallston, I love Quincy," Mucci says.
Part of Quincy's "spirit" is development. Through the early 20th century, rows of wooden houses became brick and mortar mom-and-pop stores. Multi-level department stores like Sears and Remick's cropped up. And by 1950, signs hung as far as the eye could see.
"It's sometime around here that the idea of Shoppers Town USA becomes prominent, that this is where you come to shop if you live south of Boston," Fitzgerald said.
Mark Bertman is part of that -- he owns Rogers, a jewelry store.
"We had just about all the stores in the world it seemed, downtown here. Not major brands like Filenes or Jordan Marsh, but I would have to guess there were 80 or 90 meaningful stores," Bertman said.
Bertman's father-in-law worked at the store in the 1940s and in 1960, they bought it. In those years, Bertman said, Quincy was nothing short of vibrant.
"Saturday was a huge day. Friday night at the movies. Saturday the kids would be dropped off. It was in amount of people – a lot of people up and down the street," Bertman said.
But things changed when the New Haven railroad closed down, which brought traincars full of people to Quincy. The Southeast Expressway was finished and in 1961, the South Shore Plaza opened.
"People began moving further and further out in the suburbs and it was no longer necessary or necessarily easy to get to Quincy to shop," Fitzgerald said.
Bertman's business still feels the effects of that change.
"We used to be open before Christmas every single night from November through December and we were busy as could be. Now we open 3 nights before Christmas and there's no one here," Bertman said.
One-by-one, stores moved out, shut down or were dismantled altogether.
"We're the only one left on the original downtown strip. There is just no one else here anymore," Bertman said.
The center that was once known as the busiest intersection in the commonwealth gradually became a rundown relic of the 1950s.
"It's gone downhill. There's not a heck of a lot in terms of shopping – if you want your hair done or nails done, I guess it's a good spot to go. But it does need to be redone," Ross said.
So right now, if you stand on Hancock Street in downtown Quincy, what used to be Shoppers Town USA is home to dollar stores and nail salons.
But, according to one developer, this will all be gone by 2025, replaced by higher end businesses, hotels and places to call home.
Street Works developer Richard Heapes spent the past five years amassing 50 acres of land to redevelop by buying out downtown businesses.
"I've got to figure – in a time when you don't have eminent domain to condemn people, which we have not used here, this is probably the largest assembly of land in the East Coast," Heapes said.
And it's also the first-of-its-kind public-private partnership in Massachusetts. In January, Street Works struck a $1.3 billion redevelopment deal with the city.
"The city wants to redevelop their downtown. Unfortunately the infrastructure -- meaning sewers, telephone lines, plumbing, streets, sidewalks -- are completely obsolete, out of date and require about $300 million dollars of new work," Heapes said.
So Heapes will build it, and then, if businesses are in the buildings and paying their taxes, the tenants will buy it back.
"The tenants have to be there and the taxes have to be flowing to the city coffers and of course we have to build what we said we would build," Heapes explained.
The plans are sweeping: Two hotels, over a million square feet of office space, a movie theatre and 1,200 new apartments. Traffic patterns will change too, with a rotary to be replaced by a common.
"We've found that there's been a desire to get back to your roots of a community, back to main street America," Heapes said. "people wanting to move downtown again, people wanting to work downtown again, walk down the sidewalk and bump into your neighbor – that's the experience we're bringing back as it was in the 50s."
The people who already live here say a change is long overdue.
"They're trying to make it like downtown Boston, which is good. It's a big city and they need it," said Nathan Nicholson.
Danielle Souza agrees.
"I think that's great. I mean – I think it will make it beautiful. It's pretty down here anyways, but I think it's wonderful," Souza said.
The first wrecking ball has already hit, with one building coming down. But large-scale construction isn't slated to begin for another year.
"I'm guessing this could take 8-10 years, when it's all finally done. You don't build a city overnight. I'm hoping in the year 2025 we're walking around and it's completely done," Heapes said.
However long it takes, Mark Bertman says he's not going anywhere.
"I'm really excited about the whole thing. I really am," Bertman said. "I just hope it doesn't get bogged down and people don't get discouraged."
If Street Works can pull it off, they'll join the ranks of entrepreneurial royalty -- seeing an opportunity where others did not -- and reinventing the city of Presidents one more time.

Sick Halladay expects to be ready for first start
Sick Halladay expects to be ready for first start
Mar. 19, 2013
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — A slimmer Roy Halladay is optimistic he'll be ready when the season starts.
Halladay said he lost about 10 pounds in two days because of a stomach virus, but still expects to pitch during the Phillies' first series at Atlanta. Cole Hamels already was named Philadelphia's opening-day starter and Halladay is slated for the second game on April 3.
"My stomach is a lot better," Halladay said Tuesday. "Just trying to get strength back. I'm kind of a little bit weak and jittery right now I guess from not eating and passing a lot of fluids and stuff. I feel better. Just trying to get that strength and energy back.
"Hopefully each day I will get that strength back a little bit."
Halladay left Sunday's start against Baltimore after one inning after feeling ill. The two-time Cy Young Award winner was coming off a rough outing that raised concerns about his health. But the 35-year-old righty insists he's not bothered by the lower back and shoulder problems that forced him to miss two months last year.
"My bullpen (sessions) have felt really good, and I felt good when I first started throwing in the bullpen," Halladay said of his start against the Orioles. "Throwing today felt good. The arm slot and the stuff we are working on I think is there. I feel like I'm going in the right direction. It was just a bad time for a setback of not being able to get the pitches up to where I wanted to get to."
Halladay said he would be ready to go when the season opens if he can throw about 75 pitches in his next start and at least 90 in his last spring outing.
"I think that if I continue to get stronger and stronger each day, I'll be fine," Halladay said. "I haven't been on any teams where the first start of the season they let you go over 100 pitches. I think if I can get to 90 by the end of spring, I feel like I can throw 100 to 105."
Halladay threw a perfect game, tossed a no-hitter in his first career postseason start, won a National League Cy Young Award and was 40-16 in his first two seasons in Philadelphia. But last year, he had his fewest wins (11) since 2004 and the second-worst ERA (4.49) in his career.
The Phillies' streak of five-straight NL East titles ended last year with an 81-81 finish. They're counting on Halladay, Hamels and Cliff Lee to anchor the rotation and help them make another postseason run.

University of Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne announced Sept. 26 his plan to retire Jan. 1, 2013. At 75, Osborne — who retired as Nebraska's head football coach in 1998 and who has led the Husker Athletic Department for the past five years — will step down as athletic director.
Osborne will become athletic director emeritus. He will continue to be actively involved in Athletic Department operations through July 30, 2013.
Watch a video of the announcement at http://go.unl.edu/osborne_retires.
"It has been a pleasure and an honor to work in the Athletic Department for the past five years," Osborne said. "I hope that there have been some good things that have been accomplished during that time. I appreciate Chancellor Perlman giving me this opportunity. I've had the privilege of working with some outstanding people in the Athletic Department and have confidence that the trajectory of the Athletic Department is very good."
Chancellor Harvey Perlman said it has been a privilege to work with Osborne.
"The move into the Big Ten could not have happened without Tom's support," Perlman said. "He has made the facilities stronger and has expanded the department's role in assisting students through the student life center. He has been instrumental in incorporating research facilities into the athletics complex that build on the department's reputation for innovation.
"The university and the state of Nebraska are in his debt for the many contributions he has made to both over the course of his career."
Perlman has begun a search for Osborne's replacement as director of intercollegiate athletics in order to have a new person in the position by 2013.
Osborne returned to his Husker roots on Oct. 16, 2007, to become the 13th athletic director at the University of Nebraska. He accepted the position at the time because, Osborne said, "Harvey Perlman asked me."
Husker athletics and the university have seen unprecedented growth in facilities over the past five years. Osborne is overseeing three major athletics construction projects: the development of the Pinnacle Bank Arena (a city of Lincoln project), home to the Husker basketball programs upon its completion in fall 2013; the East Memorial Stadium expansion project, to expand seating capacity of the stadium to 92,000 and accommodate the development of a health/athletics performance research facility and a Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior research, (also by fall 2013); and planning major renovations to the Bob Devaney Sports Center for volleyball, set to begin in 2013. He oversaw the development of the Hendricks Training Complex (which opened in October 2011) and the development of the Student Life Complex in the West Memorial Stadium in 2009, the Haymarket Park Indoor Practice Facility for baseball and softball (2011) and the Alloy Strength Complex (2011).
Holder of master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Nebraska in educational psychology, Osborne said he probably would not have considered coaching if he had not met Bob Devaney, who in 1962 asked him to become a volunteer graduate assistant on his staff. He served 25 years as head football coach at Nebraska, 1972 to 1997 — the longest tenure in school history. Under Osborne's direction, the program achieved remarkable success, exceeding any in its rich history. The Huskers mounted a 255-49-3 record under Osborne, good for a winning percentage of .836 and won three national championships (1994, 1995, 1997). The 255 victories are the sixth-most all-time among major college football coaches while the winning percentage ranks fifth all-time. He announced his retirement from coaching prior to defeating Tennessee in the 1998 Orange Bowl for Nebraska's fifth national title.
His achievements were so highly regarded that the National Football Foundation waived its three-year waiting period so that he could be inducted into its Hall of Fame in December of 1998. He is one of only four coaches in history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period waived.
As athletic director, Osborne quietly re-established an athletic department mission based on five core values — integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty.
Since 2007, Osborne has hired six head coaches: Bo Pelini (football), 2008; Chuck Chmelka (men's gymnastics), 2009; Darin Erstad (baseball), 2011; Dave Harris (cross country), 2012; Tim Miles (men's basketball), 2012; and Stacy Underwood (rifle), 2012.
Retiring from football coaching following the 1997 season, Osborne found several ways to stay active in his home state. His most visible post-coaching foray came in the political arena, as he served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from Nebraska's 3rd District from 2000 to 2006. He also made a gubernatorial bid in 2006 before turning to academia.
A native of Hastings, Osborne served as a senior lecturer at Nebraska in the College of Business Administration, teaching leadership and business ethics, in the spring and fall semesters in 2007. He completed the fall semester while working in the athletic department.
Widely known for his leadership, integrity, honor and compassion, Osborne has poured time and effort into building a unique mentoring program within the state. The TeamMates program, founded by Osborne and his wife, Nancy, in 1991, provides support and encouragement to school-aged youth with the goal of seeing children graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education. He said he would use his retirement to become more active in TeamMates.
In the classroom, Osborne's teams were just as successful as they were on the field. At the time of his retirement, he accumulated more football Academic All-Americans in his 25 years as coach than any other football program in the nation had produced in its history. Under Osborne's guidance, the Husker football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in 25 years, averaging more than two selections per season.

|About performers.net
Performers.net was conceived by Jim (a Boston based entertainer, The Jim Show) in the summer of 1996. The original vision was to create a web hosting service for variety acts, as well as a bulletin board system and 'community/hang out/green room' area accessible by any performer in the world. Jim thought it would be cool to meet and communicate with other performers using the web, so...
In December 1996, he posted the original "Busker Bulletin Board" on his personal web site, smirk.com. Within two months, people from all across the world were posting busking-related messages, festival reports, gigs, rants, and stuff for sale. Since it was the only bulletin board of its kind on the web, it soon grew out of control. At the end of 1997, Jim decided to move the bulletin board and all his busking-related stuff over to a neutral domain. The name 'performers.net' was registered and a new server was set up.
In January of 1998, Jim worked with Brian Jorgensen in creating a newer, cleaner site. The new site had a total of 6 topical bulletin boards and a small library of articles. The bulletin boards became very popular, but the overall design remained virtually unchanged for three years with Jim being quite busy and Brian moving on to other adventures.
In the fall of 2000, the site was re-designed, and re-built from scratch by Jim. The entire site was then moved to a new server with more space and capabilities. In one year's time (December 2000 - December 2001) over 450 people registered to use the forums and site traffic increased dramatically. Membership has grown steadily and was nearing 3000 users in early 2009.
The site was always intended to be a place for variety performers to meet, network and share ideas. As traveling entertainers, the web is the one place we can actually build a semblance of communityno matter where we are on the planet.
Performers.net will always remain free to use. And it will grow and evolve as more people use it. But don't just USE it... PLEASE contribute! We need your help. The library needs more articles and the forums can always use fresh opinions. Share your knowledge with the world. It doesn't take much to write down some words of wisdom for budding performers, your thoughts about a particular festival, or your notes on a city's busking scene. Any knowledge you'd like to share with us would be appreciated by countless performers around the world. And it will enhance the site for everybody.

Homie just texted me
Dummy brick-frowny face
Rabbit food-frowny face
Say he wanna face me
Tell em "Come and skraighten me":
SK-frowny face
AK-frowny face
[Verse 1]
Some niggas tried to wet me up
Shot up my truck in East Atlanta
Want to set me up because I tricked this nigga in Savannah
They put some money on my head, I had to move to Alabama
Started poppin' with my cousin, mixing 'caine with Arm & Hammer
Somebody blooded my face badly my last visit to the slammer
But they put me in that hole because I beat him like a hammer
The shooter shot my nigga Juice a couple times over by Gresham
Wish I was there just to help him
He pushed on, so I respect him
Before the fortune and the fame
Deep in the game, me and my gang
Behind my rights to getting my record
They tried to murk me for my chain
Two tear drops under my eye because I wish some days I could cry
But to lose my self-respect
My nigga, I would rather die. Gucci!
[Verse 2]
My former label didn't trick me
They just did what was expected
I was self-sufficient before I went independent selling records
I know they're kick theyself in the ass
I'm playing chess, they playing checkers
And they know as well as I, I eat they whole roster for breakfast
I'm a boldercrest professor, you should sign up this semester
That made me laugh cause I'm the king
I cut your head off like the jester
I'm standing tall as Manute Bol and y'all niggas shorter then Buster
I'm the dopeman, y'all the workers, so I feed y'all with the extras
Like Drake, Trey Songz and Wayne I don't know if I want successful
Successfully keeping my cool in situations highly stressful
I'm Gucci, all about the zeros, comma, number and the decimal
So if you looking for a visit to the morgue then I can help you
Sitting here on the corner pumping crack and marijuana
You can try me if you wanna, but I promise you'll be a goner
My rep just won't let you do that. I tote two straps, thought you knew that
If you come between my crew's stacks (Bricksquad!), I'll lay you flat like a doormat. Gucci!

I'm gonna try to do this without crying all over my keyboard. But honestly that's quite a tall order cause this whole thing called The View From Here aka 5andapossible, aka The 5 Spot, is like whispering to your lover, "let's make a baby," then after surviving the labor pains of birthing said baby, raising it, chiding it, getting tired of it for being so damned needy and wanting your time and attention, going back to loving it again, and then finally having to let it go.
I have already written about the hows and the whys of the start of 5andapossible, so we shan't go there today. But I can honestly say that three years ago when I stood in the bathroom doorway and mentioned the idea to my mother, only to be met with a confused look, followed by, "umm…ok," when I then began asking my friends, "hey do you want to maybe write, like, this thing called a blog with me," and then when us ladies finally gathered on that Labor Day Monday on my parents' porch and debated blog names, pseudonyms, topics, and everything in between – I could have never, ever imagined all of this.
All the LOLs. And the chuckles. And the tee hees. The endless loops of laughter. The, "I really liked your post today" from one another. The comments left from strangers and friends. The readers. The debates. The arguments. The early morning conference calls and the rules we laid down at the very beginning. HA! The fact that we would pitifully re-enact our own version of The Five Heartbeats.
That we would fall in love and out of like. That we would lose jobs and gain homes. That we would have to get over that nygga and open our hearts again. That we would travel and party it up. That we would move on and learn how to keep going. That we would accept our callings and find our passions. That we would witness our first Black President and be a part of history. That our bond would be strengthened and tested. That we would dream for each other when someone was too damn tired of dreaming for herself. That we would encourage, congratulate and support. That we would share.
Share our stories. Our changes. Our thoughts. Our opinions. Our flaws. Our contradictions. Our mistakes. Our tears. Our joys. Our struggles with weight, men, love, jobs, co-workers, black folk, Obama, our mamas, each other, life itself. Ourselves. We shared ourselves.
And we found ourselves. We changed. Transformed. Blossomed. Grew up. Got grown. Became wiser. Rooted for each other. Got knocked on our asses. Prayed [and cried] through life's blows. Praised God for life's blessings. Learned lessons. Told stories. And as we prepare to enter another decade of life, we have made sure to leave room for improvement. For development. For whatever life brings next.
I called my very first post, A Fantastic Journey, just guessing, but not truly knowing what this blog thing was going to bring. And now, three years later I can honestly say that it was the best thing for me. This pushed me towards my purpose. And I can look back over these last three years and literally chronicle my growth. My stupidity. My a-ha moments. When I felt loved. And when I was hurt. My worry. My loneliness. My struggle and determination to find my place. What brought me joy. How I got over. And moved from mama n'em's to my own house. How you can plan, but life has other plans. And what you do next makes all the difference. And damn, how three years can really fly by if you're not paying attention.
So, thanks to all the readers, the followers and the fans who have been with us during some or all of these three years – especially in the beginning when we were like, "is anybody out there?" Lol. But most importantly thanks ladies of The 5 Spot for taking the plunge, for writing [almost ;-)] every.single.week just because one day I asked you if you would, for opening up your lives and coming along for the ride. It's been, truly, fantastic.

I am a student of Shotokan Karate training with Sensei Joseph Rodrigues from Goa.
We have been training at Basilio's gym at Santa Inez Panaji Goa for almost Two years now. Our batch comprises women and men but adults only who are professionals in their own fields. Classes start at 6.15 am and end at 7.30 am. We are being tutored well in Shotokan Karate style by Sensei Joseph Rodrigues (Black Belt 5th Dan) Classes is held three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. There are about 13 students, all adults in the batch.
Hi im 44 and started Rhee TKD two months ago, i have a few basic streaches that i do and was wondering if there are any routines i should be following, ie first thing in morning and at night, i have tight ham strings and really need to improve this.
So a few of months ago, I saw my capoeira instructor displaying skill with a straight razor (navalha) in a video posted on youtube. In hand and in foot, switching between the two. I was impressed, and also wondered why at almost 5 years (that was at the time I had be training) I had not known this before. So, about month ago I expressed a desire to learn this skill, as I had only heard of, read of, and seen videos of other people doing it. He showed me a thing or two and of course I wanted to see more.
I have been doing Parkour for about a year now and I got to say the best way to get your body ready is to just do it but start small. when i started I was really out of shape but I climed alot to build arm strangth. I now am in great shape. I love to use Parkour as a way to get from point a to point b.
I achieved a black sash in lau gar kungfu in 2011. Since then a combination of circumstances have hindered me in my progress, the latest being my A-levels. I have not trained properly for around 8 months and the shape and size of my body has massively changed along with all the skills and habits one builds up after 11 years of training.
I intend to soon restart my training and build up to the mindset of a true martial artist. I want to record my progress in case this 'slump' is forced upon me again.
I am one month into Five family Shaolin Kung fu. The forms are good. I appreciate the Xing yi breathing techniques. This is a much different approach to martial arts than i am used to. The last five years i have been training in Commando Krav Maga, Naphtali and generally focused on slef defense and close quarter combat. This has been much more violent and invigorating. I find that Kung fu is contemplative, I like it.
Sifu explained today after class, that the anual promotion ceremony is related to the Chinese New Year, and it's zodiac signs. Set on the Traditional New Year morning, the Water Snake promotion will be an interesting and remembered experience! XD
It is becoming more clear to me that Zhongue Quanfa is a mix of modern and TCMA. We often use a mma stance, but step using the 5 Basic Stances. Although the style has southern roots, there are many high kicks that are used and deep stances such as pu bu(crouching stance).
3rd day back, we worked with pads to practice a couple punch-kick combos, and then we did solo kick combinations, where sifu asked me to demonstrate the axe kick. He claimed my kick would be a KO, but more importantly, he asked me how I developed it, and I replied with home practice, as I am not allowed to tell anyone the real reason.
I've been thinking of starting a new martial art. Something i'm wondering is if there are practical martial arts that are flowery looking? Shaolin martial arts-out of the different styles which is the most practical?in streetfights and such like. As far as I've heard floweryness and practicality don't mix. But which ones are the most practical of the flowery ones and can anything be learnt from them that can't be learnt from practicality absolutes like wing tsun?
Also... Are there other theories like the centreline theory?
The second day back, we worked on forms YAY!
this year i am going to try and get all my kicks up to scratch in karate and i will try my hardest to learn to do the splits. Hopefully I Can Do It
I practiced Sikaran but left the club at my rural hometown to work in the city. Having no club, the past years was hard. With the help of this community, I am hoping to stay in shape in my physically inactive lifestyle as a programmer.
I have been training off and on in the martial arts for the last 30 years. I am a collegiate wrestler. I presently coach high school wrestling. I am a level 6 commando Krav maga instructor and hold an 2 dan black belt in Naphtali. I have studied a number of arts and have great respect for most and all practitioners of the martial arts. I am begining a new season in Kung Fu. I am attempting an onine experience with sifu Franklin Fick in Five Family Style. While i realize online experience is not the best I want to be open minded to this experience.
My return to my gong Fu classes has been glorious, but I'm a little disappointed in the lack of forms we do. Personally, I think forms are a vital part of training, and they are my favorite part. But my classes don't seem to practice them often. To my knowledge, our system has two forms: tiger and snake. If I had the honor to ever create a set for this style, it would include an opening with dynamic tension and stance/ stepping movements, then go straight into tiger style techniques, then blend into crane techniques, and end with fist movements.
after a total of 4 years of TKD (2x2) i've achieve my Cho dan bo- provisional black belt. i've worked my clacker off to get it, so it feels very rewarding. Injuries, accidents and illness did their best to hinder me, but perseverance has paid off. Now that i've achieved this, i actually feel like i'm back at the start again...which i like.
Simple. I have decided to start training more seriously and figured a training log is a perfect tool for that.
2012 came and is now on it's way out. This year was a productive year of training for me in both Capoeira and Escrima. Starting in Janurary with our capoeira group changing over with a brand new start, and in February with begining my training in Escrima.
This weekend we had our Batizado and Troca De Corda ceremony. Friday night was the opening roda. Saturday night (tonight) sas workshops all day, and demos/performances, and ceremonies tonight. Sunday will be more a get together, probably a barbeque and more rodas. Tonight was an amazing night. Congrats to everyone who moved up to the next levels! I also recieved my next cord and am looking forward to moving forward! Pics and videos are hopefully soon to come as soon as I can get them all together!
Martial Arts Experience
Accomplishing Goals Using Martial Arts Principles
By: R.F. Bresch
In every day life people make excuses why they can't or don't deal with their issues. In this article I will explain setting goals as well as three principles of martial arts training that can be applied to all walks of life. Whether it be such things as sports, business ventures, working out or weight loss, or be it the obstacles of life such as drug and alcohol addiction, smoking or any other substance abuse problems. First, let us understand the objective of setting goals.
Setting Goals:
A Real Martial Arts Education:
Are YOU Getting One?
by R. F. Bresch
The martial arts are universal in their appeal. They have something for everyone, regardless of age or gender. The martial arts are generally viewed as methods of self defense and are often used as a means of physical conditioning. What the martial arts truly mean to you depends on your individual purpose for training.
Got a chance when I visited Washington, DC (awaiting flight back home as I type this) to visit the Universal Capoeira Angola Center there. Got some good training exclusively in the Angola style... 2hrs worth, and I'm feeling it now. Though its the second Angola exclusive school I've visited (Mestre Jao Grande in New York was the first.) Its the first one I actually got a chance to train at. Great group! The instructor as well as the studens and I gained a lot from the experience.
Looking forward to my capoeira group's upcoming batizado and troca de corda (change of cord) ceremony 9-11Nov 2012. I don't know if I'm ready to move to the next level. Though I've been training hard, I know I haven't been giving my all by missing classes here and there throughout theh year (though I have my reasons). I feel like I've missed out on a lot. But what I'm really looking forward to is all the awesome workshops by some of the most amazing and skilled capoeira masters around.
Saturday was D-day, i had little in the way of excuses, i just went for it.
An hour in to the class the Master called all senior students up to go through their forms- i knew this was for me, and i went through the 1st 4 well.
the next 3 i messed up- at one point due to nearly being kicked in the face by the bloke next to me. i was able to recover all but one and kept my cool and didn't let it faze me.
after a horrendous week of emotional turmoil last week it was with a lot of trepidation i trained on Saturday.
I knew the Master would ask to grade me and i knew i wasn't mentally up to it.
He did ask, i said i didn't feel right about it, and i asked what was my options, he said i didn't have any and gave me a Sabumnim to go through my stuff for 40 minutes and prepare for it in the 2nd hour of the class.
i was ok, but on reporting back to the Master the Sabumnim said i just needed to polish up my form a little more... reprieve!

By Elise Labott and Barbara Starr, WASHINGTON (CNN) — North Korea's nuclear test Tuesday set off a diplomatic scramble for America's new secretary of state as the U.S. national security community began working with other countries to try to determine what North Korea truly achieved.
The test was was not a total surprise, senior administration officials said. North Korea warned the United States and China on Monday that it would be undertaking a nuclear test, two senior administration officials told CNN. The warning came in the form of a message through the "NY channel," which is the U.S. mission to the United Nations, North Korea's typical method for passing messages to the United States. The warning was not specific on timing, but the officials said Washington took it to mean the test could happen at any moment.
After the test was detected late Monday night, Secretary of State John Kerry spoke with South Korea's foreign minister. He's also expected to talk with the foreign ministers for China, Japan and Russia. The United States began coordinating its own response with inter-agency calls between Washington and Seoul, Tokyo, Moscow and Beijing. U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Sung Kim and Gen. James Thurman, commander of the US-Republic of Korea Combined Forces Command, met with the South Korean defense minister.
The U.S. intelligence community and military began the process of assessing the test and North Korea's claims and by morning concluded an underground nuclear test had probably been conducted.
"The explosion yield was approximately several kilotons. Analysis of the event continues," said a statement released Tuesday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Nuclear monitoring by the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization will calculate what was released by the explosion. The United States will likely try to get additional readings from aircraft equipped with sensors and satellites and attempt to match those with seismic data to calculate what the explosion was.
Officials said it will be several days before Washington has a handle on the actual size of the explosion, payload and the success, or lack thereof, of the test. Bottom line: Successful or not, these tests do help North Korea learn and continue to perfect the technology.
One senior administration official says one of the the things the United States will be trying to determine is whether the North Koreans tested a uranium weapon for the first time. The past two tests were plutonium.
Washington and its allies also will be trying to figure out what type of technology and engineering was used to pull off the test and what, if any, help and materials North Korea may have received from other countries like Iran.
In addition to the analysis of data, the United States is currently analyzing North Korea's statement. At first glance, the mention of a "miniaturized" nuclear weapon is cause for concern, because that would mean the North Koreans may have mastered the technology to fit a nuclear weapon on a long-range missile that could possibly reach the United States. North Korea successfully demonstrated it could launch a long-range missile through its rocket launch last December, but questions remain about its ability to aim it toward a long-range target or even repeat the launch success.
United Nations Security Council members are meeting Tuesday morning about the North Korean test and officials say the American playbook will be pretty familiar. The officials all said Washington will seek a "tough, swift reaction" from the Security Council. Obviously, what comes out of the council will depend on what China and Russia will agree to sign on to. But one official said "there is a pretty strong commitment to go with a seriousness of purpose" to the United Nations.
Officials said the Obama administration is also looking at what other kinds of sanctions can be slapped on North Korea, which is already probably the most-sanctioned entity in the world. They are looking at the playbook for Iranian sanctions — shipping, insurance, more sanctions against financial transactions, designations of individuals.
"There is plenty to do," another senior official said.

The company's first soybean seed brand integrates smart genetics, traits and varieties to maximize yield performance.
Offering growers a new level of choice and performance, Bayer CropScience has announced the introduction of Credenz™, the company's first global soybean seed brand, commercially available in U.S. markets this month.
Delivering a wide range of varieties and traits, Credenz builds on Bayer CropScience's substantial technology platform, integrating smart genetics, traits and varieties to maximize yield performance. The new brand will be available to growers in the South (Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, North Carolina) and Midwest (Southern Iowa, Illinois, Missouri) this month as they start looking ahead to their 2015 growing season.
Credenz offers soybean growers:
- A wide range of varieties and traits including LibertyLink, as well as glyphosate-tolerant traits, in 27 high-performing varieties developed for Maturity Groups 2-7.
- A customized, flexible platform developed to meet a range of individual production preferences, including location, soil type, disease resistance and weed management features.
- Versatile disease tolerance to stem canker, frogeye and sudden death syndrome to protect plants and help them thrive and deliver competitive yield performance.
- Advancements in pest management, like multiple herbicide traits and nematode control.
"The Credenz launch brings much-needed innovation to the U.S. soybean market, where production is expected to increase over the next five years," said Diego Angelo, director, US soybean operations, Bayer CropScience. "In this rapidly evolving market, it is more important than ever to ensure growers have access to beans with unique traits tailored to address individual production needs. To meet these needs, we have invested in Credenz breeding stations in the U.S. and around the world to provide timely, custom-made solutions to meet the region-specific challenges faced by U.S. growers."
HBK seeds, a brand from Hornbeck Seed Company which Bayer CropScience acquired in 2011, will now carry the Credenz brand name.
Joe Mencer, a soybean grower based in Lake Village, Ark., said, "Our experience this year with the Bayer CropScience system was tremendous. We had some of the highest yielding soybeans we've ever had. A number of our fields averaged more than 80 bushels an acre; we even had some that averaged in the mid-90s."
Smart genetics and traits help soybeans grow stronger and heartier under a wide variety of growing conditions. Each Credenz seed is backed by some of the most innovative technologies in the crop protection industry today, including Bayer CropScience seed treatments and coatings, high-performance crop protection products, and an expertise grounded in science and commitment to customers.
Bayer CropScience will expand the Credenz platform over the coming years by introducing multiple new trait technologies, working collaboratively with industry partners to deliver increasingly innovative tools for soybean growers.
"Soybeans represent a strategic crop for Bayer CropScience and our focus on building a fully integrated soybean portfolio of offerings will allow us to provide growers with complete solutions of seed, seed treatment, traits and crop protection solutions," said Allen Gent, U.S. soybean product manager, Bayer CropScience. Bayer CropScience's seed treatments range from the market-leading Poncho®/VOTiVO® to its highly anticipated newest addition – ILeVO®. When registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ILeVO will be the first product to provide breakthrough protection for soybean seedlings against the fungus that causes Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS).
Credenz will be available for the 2015 growing season in the United States. Bayer CropScience anticipates availability in most US markets beginning in 2015 for the 2016 growing season.

It's not so good to be the king.
The King of Fighters series started back in 1994, right towards
the end of the 16-bit console era, when people still actually bought basketball
shoes with pumps. The Neo Geo ruled the arcades (remember those? Probably not)
and busted out with the MVS, an arcade system that boasted replaceable cartridges
for their hardware. Year after year, this hardware would be updated with the
latest and greatest the arcade scene had to offer.
Somehow, SNK managed to eke out a decade's worth of King
of Fighters from their aged 24-bit beast. As memorable as the times
have been, it is indeed time to move on, and King
of Fighters: Maximum Impact is not the way to do it. This is an average,
unimpressive 3D fighting game without any of the quirks and charm of its 2D
most of your favorite fighters from the KoF series are included
here, with some fine, nerdy new details that should appeal to the hardcore fan
base. For instance, Terry Bogard sports both the classic red hat and jacket and
the Mark of the Wolves bomber jacket costumes. Old standbys such as Kyo Kusanagi,
the always vibrant Mai Shiranui, and the Ikari team are still here. Fans will
likely point out some of the lesser fighters they wish were in here as well,
since by the end of the KoF series, approximately one million
fighters have made an appearance. This time, the total maxes out at a much more
reasonable 20 or so.
In addition to the old-school crew, there are a slew of new fighters in Southtown. You have the brothers Meria: Alba, an angry looking guy in shades, and his opposite twin Soiree, an effeminate fella with a little toreador hat on his back. Charming. There's also Chae Lim, a spunky Korean martial artist and perhaps the only female character in the game without any overt sexuality. On the far end of the hoochie scale is Lien Neville, a spy in the vein of Sam Fisher, only with gigantic boobs in place of night vision.
Perhaps the most standout new fighter for all the wrong reasons is Mignon Beart. She is quite possibly the single most annoying character in a fighting game ever, the culmination of every bad anime clich" in one cloyingly disgusting package. She apologizes after she throws a punch, squeaks when she walks, and hits herself when she loses a fight. Yes, this girl has problems, and they're not just in her terrible design.
game offers a pretty bare assortment of modes: Story mode (if you could even
call it that), Vs. and Practice modes, which are pretty self explanatory, and
Mission mode, which puts you through the paces of several tests of skill. It's
challenging, but there's not much reward for doing well.
When you first enter the tournament in Story mode, the announcer glibly warns
you that there might be underhanded things afoot behind this year's King
of Fighters tournament (as if there aren't underhanded things afoot
behind every year's tournament). Apparently, the tournament is being
run by a gang called Mephistopheles. Gee, I wonder if they're evil. Incidentally,
the game's main boss is named Duke. Evil indeed!
Suffice to say, the story is no good, but that's par for the course when it comes
to fighting games. King
of Fighters: Maximum Impact's plot is a complete hodgepodge of obtuse,
stupid drama. Can we please just have a fighting game with a competent story?
Even the earlier games in the series had gratifying endings, but here, the endings
just stink.
At least the fighting still manages to be competent. The basics of the classic
2D fighting style have been transferred over into the 3D world, creating a
3D game that still plays and feels 2D. Like most fighting games, there are
standard moves, specials, and advanced moves that deplete a Special meter. King
of Fighters is a fast-paced game, requiring a good amount of twitch
skill in addition to being able to pull off the Specials quickly. The three-dimensionality
is summed up in a side-step move. But while there are strengths in transporting
the dynamics of the tried and true four-attack KoF system
(two punches, two kicks), not much has been done to give the game a new feel
to complement the new look. It's pretty much the same old gameplay.
it isn't moving, King of Fighters: Maximum Impact looks
like a much more detailed version of earlier games. The textures are intricate
and sharp and each of the characters has survived the 3D transposing quite intact.
But once you start swinging away at each other, the game just doesn't look as
good as it should. The animations are stiff and unpolished and the fighting environments
are bland and pedantic. Maximum Impact simply doesn't stand
up to the vibrant 2D of Guilty Gear or the
silky-smooth 3D of the Dead or Alive series.
The subpar graphics are brilliant compared to the sound, however. The music is
terribly generic and the English voices are awful. Yuri Sakazaki's voice sounds
like a five year-old boy instead of a bubbly cutie-pie. Bad localization ruins
Although the fighting is decent and fans of the series will enjoy the new look
of the characters, King
of Fighters: Maximum Impact isn't nearly as interesting as it would
have you believe. The game tries to get by riding the coattails of its 10 year
legacy, but it doesn't offer enough to compete with the likes of Soul
Calibur 2 or Virtua Fighter and
has lost any edge it might have had over 2D games like Guilty
Gear. The series
is already dramatically dated, and unfortunately, this isn't
the game to usher the tournament into a new age.

In 1988, Candice Swanepoel was born in a small town in South Africa. She grew up on a dairy and beef farm and says she "spent her life surrounded by life, love, nature and family.
As a little girl, I always knew I wanted to do something different, something my family and I could be proud of one day." She added, "It was such a pure, beautiful way to grow up. I used to wear overalls. And big boots, and poked cow poo, and helped the cows give birth. It was a really amazing playground."
At the age of 15, while enrolled at St. Anne's College, an all-girls boarding school, a model scout discovered her at a Durban flea market. Within a year, Candice had booked modeling jobs all across Europe. Candice Swanepoel describes it as an incredible blessing for someone from such a sheltered upbringing, but it forced her to make tough decisions about her life at a young age.
After travelling for two years between jobs, Candice Swanepoel gave up a normal teenage life and moved to New York City to model full-time. Soon after, she became a Victoria's Secret Angel, the first South-African model to walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Candice Swanepoel says she's happiest and most comfortable hiding away on a beach with a good pair of sunglasses, soft sand and some Reggae music.
Candice Swanepoel's magazine covers include Vogue, ELLE, GQ, Harper's Bazaar, and Ocean Drive. She has done advertisements for Nike, Diesel, Guess?, Tommy Hilfiger, Tom Ford and Versace. Her runaway work includes Dolce and Gabbana, Fendi, Chanel, and numerous others.
Candice Swanepoel debuted on the Forbes' "The World's Top-Earning Models" list, with estimated earnings of $3 million between 2010 and 2011.

In 2012, the ads for Brian Atwood's latest show line featuring Candice Swanepoel writhing with naked men was deemed too racy to appear in New York City. Said Candice, "I respect that they banned it. Not everybody is comfortable with their sexuality and with showing your body. For me, it's not a problem. I'm proud of my body. I work hard for my body. As long as it's always done in a tasteful way, which it was." A film version of the ad, which was due to air in New York taxis, was also banned. The ads appeared in the September issue of Vogue, W, V Magazine and CR Fashion Book.
Candice Swanepoel speaks fluent Afrikaans and Portuguese and has been dating male model Hermann Nicoli since she met him at age 17.

Traveling Light
Shout out to the AirTran and TSA agents at Jacksonville International Airport. You guys rock!
We are on vacation and Cameron was leaving our vacation spot to visit his father for a long weekend. His flight was out of JAX, which is a little over an hour's drive for us. Thirty minutes into the journey to the airport I asked Cameron if he had his wallet with him. Now mind you, 30 minutes into the journey was the wrong time to ask this question, but I thought it was a routine question that really didn't need to be asked. So imagine my reaction when the answer was not an automatic "Yes," but something more along the lines of "Maybe" which directly translates to "No." Cameron clearly didn't understand why my hair stood on end and I became a slightly distracted driver when he informed me he had not brought his wallet. "Cameron, how are you going to get through security without an ID???" Suddenly he got it, and panic ensued for both us.
Luckily I had a friend in the car with me, who calmly called AirTran to inquire about ID requirements. For passengers under 18, no ID is required. I knew this, but worried that it would still be a problem since Cameron was traveling alone. I had actually thought of this trip as a test for Cameron. He would be traveling out of an unfamiliar airport and would need to find his way to the gate without having ever set foot in that airport before. I felt he was up to the challenge, but prepared myself for sitting on pins and needles, waiting for my phone to ring as he made it to the gate, and again when he boarded the plane, and finally when he landed at his destination. Now knowing he had no ID on him, I worried about him being held up at security, and possibly being denied entry into the gate area.
Upon arriving at the terminal, we went to the check-in kiosk to print Cameron's boarding pass. I was showing Cameron where his confirmation number could be found, and the AirTran agent came to ask if we needed any help. I explained that Cameron had no ID, but that he was 17, and asked if it would be a problem going through security. (No mention of ASD, or attention issues, or any of my other canned excuses when I'm seeking assistance.) The agent said that it shouldn't be a problem, but she would be happy to give the two of us (my poor friend was still waiting for my head to explode) a gate pass to accompany Cameron to the gate. I was so relieved! And so we headed to security. Cameron handed his boarding pass to the TSA agent, and the agent didn't even ask for an ID. I was ready to jump in and explain that the ID had been forgotten, but my presence was unneeded. (I did have to remind Cameron to remove his liquids from his carry on, but I have to remind my husband of that too.)
My friend and I stayed back as Cameron walked straight to his gate. He sat right by the agent, as we again stayed back to await the boarding call. The pre-board announcement was made for those passengers needing extra time. I was about to go over to Cameron and suggest he ask to pre-board, but he had already gotten up to join the line. I started to give Cameron one of those canned excuses to explain his need to board first, but the gate agent didn't question Cameron when he handed him his boarding pass.
Cameron and I learned some important lessons on this trip. Cameron learned to take his wallet with him when he travels. And I learned that he doesn't need to take his mom with him when he travels.

Samsung has announced the first Windows Phone 8 smartphone, the Samsung ATIV S, at its IFA 2012 press conference, and the Windows Phone blog has snapped it from all directions to show us what we can expect from the metal-clad device when it launches later this year.
Inside the 8.7mm brushed-aluminum chassis is a huge 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display made from Corning Gorilla Glass 2. Powered by a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor, 1GB of on-board RAM, and an 8MP autofocus rear camera and 1.9MP front-facing camera it's similar to Nokia's Lumia 900 but features a bigger screen and obviously Windows Phone 8 rather than Windows Phone 7.
Storage wise you'll get 16GB or 32GB version and a MicroSD slot for expanded storage. Don't forget there will be SkyDrive support as well to go one step further.
Backing all of this up is a massive 2300mAh battery to keep you rocking all day. We are going to try to track down the phone at IFA to bring you our own batch of photos and first impressions on the device. In the meantime enjoy Microsoft's efforts of the new Samsung ATIV S.

Kcal 496 Fat 32.2g Fat(sats) 19.0g Carbs 49.1g (per 100.0g)
Last week Heavenly Cakes burst onto the ChocolateMission scene with their Millionaire Shortbread scoring an outstanding (and very well deserved!!) 9.1 out of 10 on the scoring system (See HERE). Every day after treating my fellow co-workers to those Shortbreads, they were consistenly nagging me about when I would be next bringing in something from the Heavenly Cakes website. Well they didn't have to wait that long, as earlier this week Nigel & Maeve sent along some 'all butter flapjacks covered with real Belgian milk chocolate'. Once again, these had stiff competition to live up to in the form of the form of Thornton's Mini Caramel Flapjacks - read on to find out if Heavenly Cakes could triumph for a second time!
After receiving almost god like status in my office for bringing in last weeks Millionaire Shortbread (I have never been made so many cups of coffee in my life!), there was no way that I wasn't going to share the 550.0g gift pack of Chocolate Flapjack. As per last weeks review the flapjack slices came presented in much the same manner in the sky blue and pink trimmed boxes, and were contained within a deep-fill silver foil tray. When cut into, the flapjacks revealed themselves to be not quite on the same level of foodpornography as the Millionaire Shortbreads, but the chocolate layer was similarly exceedingly thick and still got many positive comments from my colleagues.
Resisting the urge to bite into my flapjack slice straight away, I first took note of the smells being offered. The aromas I detected were mostly sweet and chocolaty, though there were hints of baked oat biscuits which obviously made sense given the constituents of the base. Having chilled these flapjacks in the fridge for a few hours before eating (highly recommend you do this!), the chocolate seemed a little firmer to the bite than I experienced last week, though it still melted with the same wonderful smooth soft feel once warmed. The more I experience the Heavenly Cakes Belgian chocolate, the more I am coming round to thinking that it is a bit of a half way house between Galaxy and Lindt milk chocolate. It's delicious taste isn't as cream focused as Galaxy, and not as cocoa based as Lindt. It's one self defining attribute is it's very forthcoming vanilla noted finish, which nicely round off the latter stages of the melt with each bite. Sitting below the plentiful chocolate, the flapjack layer was just as plentifully portioned, and was equally just as tasty. The overriding flavours that came out of the viscous, chewy texture were butter, golden syrup and brown sugar. When eaten in large slices the taste of the flapjack base was a little one dimensional, however these were best eaten in smaller bites anyway as the taste was incredibly rich.
Overall these Heavenly Cakes Chocolate Flapjacks didn't quite reach the same levels on the scoring chart as the Millionaire Shortbreads did last week, though they still went down very well amongst both myself and the ten co-workers I sampled them with. As chocolate flapjacks go these were very good and the quality of the freshly made chocolate and oat and golden syrup fused bases shown through and made for both flavoursome and satisfying flapjack slices. In terms of whether they were nicer than the Thorntons Mini Caramel Flapjacks, me and my fellow taste testers were split down the middle. Personally I think that the Thorntons ones, which use caramel to the fuse the oats rather than golden syrup, offer just a little bit more in terms of flavour in their bases. On the contrary some of my colleagues argued the case that they proffered the nicer, thicker chocolate used on these Heavenly Cakes flapjacks - it really is just a matter of opinion. If we forget comparisons for just one minute and look at the facts, these were some delicious tasting flapjacks, which were highly thought of amongst all eleven people that tried them. I can't see myself buying them instead of the Millionaire Shortbreads, but flapjack fans should sit up and take note of these.
8.2 out of 10

Claire Sherman: It's all in the experiment
During a road trip with her husband through the Southwest, Claire Sherman pointed a camera out her car window and took a blurry image of the bleached landscape whizzing past, the kind of impromptu picture that also captures a highway sign and a bit of the dashboard.
Sherman, a landscape painter, dismissed it at the time; it was one of dozens of photos she'd taken on the trip in search of subject...

Milk Recipes
Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe
A strawberry banana smoothie is perfect when you need breakfast on the go. I whip up the drink with frozen strawberries and a banana whenever Lulu is running late. Strawberries aren't quite in season yet, so frozen is your best bet. When you can get them fresh, this drink is even more delicious.
Besides being a vegetarian, Lulu is also lactose-intolerant, so it's a challenge to make him calcium-rich food. I used almond milk and yogurt to deliver calcium without adding too much lactose. I also added a scoop of whey protein to fortify the drink with a little protein. I placed the smoothie in a cup that I sealed with a lid and added a straw.
Lulu left for work with a strawberry banana smoothie in his hand and a kiss on his cheek. I think that's a pretty good way to start the day!

Sweet Lassi (Indian Yogurt Drink)
Lassi is an Indian yogurt drink. I often make it at home, but I've never quite been able to recreate the subtle tanginess of the drink. That is, until now. On our last trip to the local Indian restaurant, I asked the waitress about their preparation techniques, and she told me that they always add Bulgarian cultured buttermilk when making plain lassi. After that lunch, I stopped at the local Middle Eastern store, picked up a carton of buttermilk, and adjusted my recipe to her specifications. I've been making it this way ever since.
I use traditional Indian flavorings in my lassi, specifically elaichi ("cardamom" in Urdu) and rose water. My mother-in-law isn't a huge fan of rose flavoring, so I only added ¼ teaspoon of rose extract. You can add as much or as little as you'd like.
Full Recipe...
Mango Lassi (Indian Yogurt Drink)
Every mango lassi recipe you'll find always has the same list of ingredients. Milk, yogurt, mango (fresh or canned), sugar and some crushed ice are always present, though the proportions may differ. To these, I added cardamom extract, saffron (for color) and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the mango.
There's something magical about mango lassi (Indian-style smoothie). It has the richness of a milkshake without the calories. On top of that, it's ultra easy to make at home. You don't have to wait for your next trip to the local Indian restaurant to enjoy a tall glass of mango-ey goodness.

Sharbat (Indian Milk Drink made with Rooh Afza Syrup, Cardamom Seeds, Almonds, Cashews and Pistachios)
Sharbat is a very common drink during our family gatherings. It's a sweet chilled dairy drink mixed with Rooh Afza syrup, cardamom seeds, almonds, cashews and pistachios. Sharbat is a popular ethnic pink drink in India and Pakistan. Sharbat gets its characteristic pink color from Rooh Afza.
I'm still unclear of its composition but here's what I've learned from Lulu's aunt: Rooh Afza is made out of fruit (Watermelon) extracts, coriander seeds, flower petals like Gulab (Rose) and herbs.
It's very good, sweet, very filling and addictive. The high calorie combination of sugar and nuts is an energy drink by itself. It's great fuel for an evening with family and friends.

With so many threats to a free and open Internet, sooner or later, people will need to arm themselves for the fight, writes Deep End's Paul Venezia. 'If the baboons succeed in constraining speech and information flow on the broader Internet, the new Internet will emerge quickly. For an analogy, consider the iPhone and the efforts of a few smart hackers who have allowed anyone to jailbreak an iPhone with only a small downloaded app and a few minutes,' Venezia writes. 'All that scenario would require would be a way to wrap up existing technologies into a nice, easily-installed package available through any number of methods. Picture the harrowing future of rampant Internet take-downs and censorship, and then picture a single installer that runs under Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux that installs tor, tools to leverage alternative DNS servers, anonymizing proxies, and even private VPN services. A few clicks of the mouse, and suddenly that machine would be able to access sites "banned" through general means.'

| This talk page is for discussing the Rustler article.
This includes commenting on the article, questioning whether it is correct, or adding suggestions for improvements
Questions about GTA games, not about the wiki page itself, should be asked at Community:Questions.Remember to always add your signature to the end of your comments/replies using four tildes:
Mustang or Tempest
Here's a Rustler:http://www.gta-source.com/sa/vehicles/Rustler.jpg Here's a P-51: http://www.vg-photo.com/wallpaper/1280x1024/Mustang2_DSC_3436.jpg Here's a Tempest:http://www.world-war-2-planes.com/hawker_tempest.html Case closed. I'll be accepting your apology now, Jager.
- Oh really? Yes, it does look more like the Mustang - particularly the wings, cockpit, horizontal stabilisers, nose/bonnet/hood. However, some things look more like a combination of the two. The vertical stabiliser (tailfin) looks like the Tempest, and the air intake looks halfway between the two. The main body of the aircraft, with the split-height fuselage fore and aft of the cockpit, and the squared-off wings, probably confirm that it is the Mustang.
However, I'd very much like you to change your attitude towards your fellow editors - sure he made a mistake, because it looks slightly more like the Mustang than the Tempest (only to the trained eye), but his purpose here is the same as yours - to improve our encyclopaedic content. I'd hope this isn't a British vs American thing either. Gboyers talk 16:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
The vertical stabilizer, I'll give you, but the horizontal stabilizers are mustang. The air intake below the nose resembles the Mustangs, as the Tempest I has a Typhoon-type intake while the Tempest II has no intake...being that it is powered by a radial engine. My exasperation comes from having to repeatedly edit the post to ensure it authenticy. When it comes to aviation...I don't make mistakes. Ever. It is not a case of UK versus US, as both aircraft are British in origin. The Mustang was designed at the request of the British Government. The British replaced the Allison engine with the Rolls Royce Merlon, famous for being the 'Spitfire Engine,' and the Mustang was born. Allison engined airframes were modified for use as dive-bombers and carried the designation A-36 Apache.
This article has been protected to prevent continued edit warring. Editors must discuss changes before seeking to make edits, as many aspects of the plane's design seem to be highly debatable, and a major source of contention. Please post your comments on this talk page regarding why you think particular design influences are more accurate than others, rather than reverting each other's edits. Discussion is a key aspect of making this wiki run smoothly. It benefits no one to argue and incessantly revert edits. The expiry on the protection is 3 days. If after this time, editors continue to war without discussing things on the talk page, the article will be protected indefinitely, and all edits will require administrator approval. EganioTalk 23:03, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- I even added more important info about the Rustler. Unfourtunately, somebody had to remove it because it is "irrelevant". I don't see nothing irrelevant here. Just someone removing all of my important edits I've made for no apparent reason at all. Geez. Talk about someone that does'nt own GTA games in order to know more like me and everyone else. MetaCracken 16:31, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Your posts are irrelevant and undo a lot of my hard work. User:Sukhoi-35BM
- I think you mean my hard work, because I know much about this plane =\. MetaCracken 16:36, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Obviously not if you keep destroying my work. Trust me, I know MUCH more about aviation, both virtual and real, than you. User:Sukhoi-35BM
- Please dont talk to each other like this. Who is a better pilot is irrelevant - we need to make sure that GTW provides the correct information, and where we are unsure we need to admit that and offer all possibilities. The article doesn't need speculation or opinion, just facts. I have protected the article again because of your inability to cooperate. MetaCracken - a lot of the stuff you were adding is unnecessary or unprovable, such as "It is the oldest aircraft in the GTA series." Please make sure you stick to fact as much as possible - make sure you can provide evidence or proof of what you say. Gboyers talk 16:46, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
I know, but I know a lot about the Rustler, and we all know who has started all of this conversation (and it's not me). MetaCracken 16:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Please just stop. Please turn your destructive attention on cars or something.
I'm not the one who started all this mess. It's you. I know everything, even cars, planes helicopters, etc, all because I played a lot of GTA games. You're just attempting to humiliate me, and it's not working.
You're doing that to yourself. I'm working for accuracy. And I'm a pilot. Are you a pilot? Didn't think so. If the FAA can trust me, then so can you.
I may not be a pilot in real life, but I'm good at piloting in GTA: SA. All I ever did was add more important details. Then, my edits was removed. I'm not into any arguments, so I suggest you stop this nonsense. Now. I've about had it with your argue fest. And only you got me intot his mess. 17:00, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
They are removed because you post stupid things like "the rustler is the oldest...) NO! If you look at the plane it is based on, the P-51/P-40, both flew AFTER the Douglas DC-3, which is the Nevada's template. This is an example of why your stuff gets deleted. You just...don't know.
- Shakes Head This is what I would call an "Edit War" and although amusing to read, is annoying and clogs up the talk page. And don't forget to sign your comments guys! --Chimpso 07:47, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Holy crap
Now lemme get this straight. It has been protected by countless of reverts, arguments, and all that? Wow. I'm not surprised or happy to see this. I'm just... shocked to see this. But hey, if it's locked, it's locked. I don't even mind. Forgive my misspelling. usually, I type fast, thanks to my great typing speed with my fingers. Captain Seven-Twenty 19:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
It can't be considered "great typing" if you can't even spell words properly because of the typing.....<badge user="Optimist33gta"/> 01:08, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
- Uhh... Did you realize you replied to a year-old post?--Spaceeinstein 16:43, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Actually...it IS a P-40
The plane is a variant of the P-40 called the XP-40Q.
3-view drawing
Picture of the Rustler for comparison
The XP-40Q was an experimental plane, ane was never brought past the prototype stage; It was an attempt at modernization of the aging P-40 design. It worked quite well, but the P-51 still worked better. and so the design was scrapped.
The only noticable differences between this and the Rustler are as follows:
- The lower scoop is a little wider up-and-down
- There are no wheel covers on the XP-40Q (likely because it was an experimental plane. They would probably have been put on in production versions.)
- There are 4 props on the XP-40Q rather than 3 on the Rustler
- The Rustler uses a "Razorback" canopy rather than a bubble canopy (though it still retains the bracing structure of a bubble canopy).
The Rustler has the tail of the XP-40Q, and in general the XP-40Q looks more like the Rustler than the P-51 ever did.
Not trolling or trying to start an argument or something, just putting forth my research on this.

Intended for U.S. healthcare professionals only.
For corporate information, please visit Mallinckrodt.com.
EXALGO (hydromorphone HCI) extended-release tablets (CII) is indicated for the management of pain in opioid-tolerant patients severe enough to require daily, around-the clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate.
Patients considered opioid tolerant are those who are receiving, for one week or longer, at least 60 mg oral morphine per day, 25 mcg transdermal fentanyl/hour, 30 mg oral oxycodone/day, 8 mg oral hydromorphone/day, 25 mg oral oxymorphone/day or an equianalgesic dose of another opioid.
Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse with opioids, even at recommended doses, and because of the greater risks of overdose and death with extended-release opioid formulations, reserve EXALGO for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options (e.g., non-opioid analgesics or immediate-release opioids) are ineffective, not tolerated, or would be otherwise inadequate to provide sufficient management of pain. EXALGO is not indicated as an as-needed (prn) analgesic.
WARNING: ADDICTION, ABUSE, AND MISUSE; LIFE-THREATENING RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION; ACCIDENTAL INGESTION; and NEONATAL OPIOID WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME
EXALGO exposes patients and other users to the risks of opioid addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death. Assess each patient's risk prior to prescribing EXALGO, and monitor all patients regularly for the development of these behaviors or conditions
Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression may occur with use of EXALGO. Monitor for respiratory depression, especially during initiation of EXALGO or following a dose increase. Instruct patients to swallow EXALGO tablets whole; crushing, chewing, or dissolving EXALGO tablets can cause rapid release and absorption of a potentially fatal dose of hydromorphone.
Accidental ingestion of even one dose of EXALGO, especially in children, can result in a fatal overdose of hydromorphone.
Prolonged use of EXALGO during pregnancy can result in neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, which may be life-threatening if not recognized and treated, and requires management according to protocols developed by neonatology experts. If opioid use is required for a prolonged period in a pregnant woman, advise the patient of the risk of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and ensure that appropriate treatment will be available.

Drake wants to settle Chris Brown feud
Drake is eager to put his feud with Chris Brown in the past by sitting down with his one-time love rival for a "man-to-man" chat.
The stars, who have both dated singer Rihanna, came to blows in a New York City nightclub last year when their entourages were embroiled in a violent brawl, which left several people injured.
Drake now admits he would like to overcome his issues with the Kiss Kiss hitmaker, but fears a reconciliation may never happen.
He tells GQ magazine, "I wish we could sit down, just like you and me are right now, and talk it out man-to-man. But that's not going to happen.
"I'm not confrontational but if someone challenges, I'm not going to back down. If I think about it too much, I feel it wrapping around my foot, like I get a feeling it could end really badly … like, it gets really dark."

Reviewed By William B (ALBUQUERQUE, NM) Reviewed for a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe —9/24/2014 6:55 PM
I did a lot of research for cargo mats for my 2010 Santa Fe. This was by far the best offering and the best price to meet my needs. I was looking at mats that had a lip so nothing that spill would affect the original material but they were far too expensive for the value. Love the color and quality of this mat--it fits perfectly.
